Create With Technology
Funded Dec 31, 2024Receiving this computer has had an incredible impact on my students, transforming the way they engage with learning every day. The technology has made learning more interactive and accessible. My students can now practice essential skills through engaging educational programs, access learning tools that support their development.
One of the most exciting aspects for my students is the ability to use multimedia resources. They love watching educational videos, using the circuit and creating unique pieces. They were able to play interactive games that reinforce what we're learning. The computer has turned learning into something dynamic and fun, making them more eager to participate and practice their skills.
Students have truly blossomed with this new technology. One child, who was initially shy and hesitant to speak, now confidently records himself practicing words and sentences, excited to hear his own progress. Another student, who struggled with traditional paper-based activities, has found a new way to express ideas through creating designs. Seeing their confidence grow has been one of the most rewarding experiences.
This computer isn't just a tool—it's an opportunity. It's giving my students the resources they need to learn in ways that work best for them, making education more engaging, inclusive, and effective”

Funded May 10, 2024Creativity and self-expression in schools have become a very important part of learning in today's world. Creativity allows our students to express and showcase their talent, we as educators get to see how each child demonstrates things in different ways as every child is unique in their own way. As we move forward towards a new academic future the use of creativity, technology and teaching go hand in hand.
This new machine enables the student to learn how to use the computer or iPad to design cut and press their creations and learn things digitally which they will use in the future. Allowing them to gain the confidence in using different tools, applications and services they would not have been able to or have access to at home.
The students were super excited about this new device, it allows for less people using one device and allowed more 1 to 1 education. Some of the student who were most excited were ones whom at home have to share devices and times and creations, it allowed them to know they could take their time and learn new things expressing their talents.”

Funded Nov 29, 2022Nowadays technology is one of the most important things in the world. Learning about technology is key for our student's future. They can communicate, do research, write college essays, find jobs, learn navigation, even keep up on current events.
My students love to listen to the music from the new speakers to enhance the music for their performance. It is important for our music to have good quality sound in order for the children to practice. Children are always curious to learn new things. Technology is changing on a daily basis which is also helpful in their growth.
There are specific students who adapt very well to technology even more than others because every child learns differently and technology helps children engage into learning as well as helping them build knowledge on how to use technology in the years to come. It helps students to prepare for what is to come futuristically.”
